Well, I'll maybe offer 1500 quid for the car, but don't think the plate is worth 2 grand, nice as it is. scratchchin

1500 is in the right area looking at the pictures, but would be weary as add states a fully working hand brake, first one ever!

My handbrake worked perfectly on the 400...a £380 miracle, and a first on my 3 Wedges. hehe

I reckon you could spend nearly the price of the 420 on it, as a lot of the work won't be DIY. frown

The later cars had the better A-frame suspension too.

This MIGHT be a better buy, if you can get it down to £2,500. smile

Now that's tempting.....if it were closer I'd have it as a stablemate!

1200 would i say...ok...lets say 1500 as the pound isnt very strong at the moment.


when i hear "chasis, sills and floors are in good, solid and sound condition."...all warning lamps go on immediately...

chasis with 1 "s"
sills? they are made of plastic
floors? plastic too

worn interior, worn hood, missing mirror...where are the underneath pictures?


maybe the most valuable item on this car is the no.-late!!!
